Keep reminding your Members of Congress why #SNAPMatters and urge them to protect and strengthen this critical program in the #FarmBill

Unlike the House version, the Senate #FarmBill is bipartisan and protects #SNAP. Taking food from children, seniors, ppl w/ disabilities, veterans & others will lead to greater hunger & poverty. https://t.co/f4kGBTsPK2

The Senate's version of the Farm Bill doesn't include the controversial changes to SNAP that the House bill did. Read about it here: https://t.co/YENK7uNdBI #SNAP #Health #Food #Nutrition #Senate

The House proposed Farm Bill would make cuts to SNAP. Read more about the importance of the Farm Bill to SNAP here: https://t.co/h37jhmoLVi. #SNAP #health #policy #FarmBill

“When I need SNAP and I don’t have access to it, it’s a sense of desperation that’s almost indescribable almost panic wondering how I’m going to feed my kids.”

"SNAP does more than just help feed children. SNAP has long-term positive effects on health and children’s education, it alleviates poverty and benefits the economy."

In contrast, the #senate farm bill is more promising: https://t.co/bRTO38omw6
